Thumbnail
View as MarkdownConditionally adding pipeline elements
This sample demonstrates how to conditionally add elements to a pipeline based on the properties of the input image. It shows how to create thumbnails in the sRGB color space with a specified DPI value.
You can read more information about pipelines in the documentation.
Draw text watermark on thumbnail image
This sample shows how to create a thumbnail image and draw a semi-transparent text watermark on top of it using the GraphicsMill transforms and advanced drawing APIs. It demonstrates how to resize the source image with the Resize transform, register a custom font, and render text with Drawer and PlainText. You can read more information about drawing in the documentation.
Get EXIF Thumbnail
Gets thumbnail of image from its EXIF metadata.
Multiple thumbnails
Creates two different-sized images from a single read of the source image. In most cases, reading the image is the bottleneck, so this approach significantly improves performance.
Rasterize a PDF page two ways: quick vs. full control
This sample compares the two ways to turn a PDF page into a bitmap. PdfFrame.GetBitmap is the quickest option, but it always returns a 24-bit RGB bitmap at the page's own resolution. Getting the page's vector content with GetContent and rasterizing it separately with GraphicsContainerRasterizer is slower, since rendering goes through the vector content rather than a ready-made bitmap, but it allows any target pixel format and resolution, such as an alpha-capable format at a higher DPI than the source page.
